I'd just like to thank the heads of the Plawrence and SC Families (and their wonderful better halves) for sitting down with me Friday night for a fun evening of Italian food, drink and music! It was great meeting up with you guys while I was away at my conference. You guys are a hoot, and I hope we can do it again sometime soon. Maybe even expand it to 5 Families, or even more!  And no, Plawrence, I won't tell the world that your directions to the restaurant made me turn a 5 minute trip into 40 minutes. I wouldn't do that to you!  There should be some pics soon, if Barzini doesn't crumple the film... Thanks again, guys! If there's something I can do for you -- you come, we talk -- as long as your interests don't conflict with mine... PS LDV, you can't avoid the next one just cuz you'd miss a night of fantasy baseball picks!! 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Wow, guys, that is really great! I'm really pleased you guys met up!  If only I was a Noo Yawker...  Please post some pics, that would be terrific! So, the new pecking order at the top of the Family is JG, SC and Plawrence, right? Sounds grand to me! Mick

I, of course, have a slightly different take on the situation.... The hotel where JG was staying is 3 minutes from my home, which is 2 minutes from the restaurant, which is one that I've been to perhaps 20 times. There is no chance that the directions were wrong. Which leaves only the possibility that they weren't followed correctly. But that aside, let me add that it was a great evening. SC took pictures and promises to post some by Sunday night.

Actually, suprisingly little. My GF expressed her surprise that there really were as many as two other people in the world who have watched the trilogy 30 times and know virtually the entire thing by heart, but that's about it.

My friend and I arrived 40 minutes late (REALLY bad traffic, not due to us getting lost like some un-named Don) only to find Geoff and plawrence holding up their end of the bar-rail just below the tv showing the Yankee game (I always knew the two of them were in cahoots in the BB League). Plawrence's GF arrived shortly thereafter and it was literally a matter of minutes before the five of us were engaged in conversation which made me think we knew each other all of our lives. Here's a look at the three guys. Thats me on the left, Geoff in the middle and plawrence on the right: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.thegodfathertrilogy.net/img/JGSCPL1.jpg)

I want in. I am going to NY next week, from the 30th to the 7th. If any of you guys would like to get together for a drink and a Bombers game, let me know. Where from in NY are you gentlemen from? I will be in Bronx visiting relatives for a few days, then I will be staying in Yonkers with my uncle. I will also be at the Sunday doubleheader, so if you are also going, let me know. If you don't really care for me, I'd at least like to shake your hand.

I'll supply the money. Except put a "wont" between the I'll and the supply and get rid of the " 'll " after the beginning I. Oh pleeaase...

When I first saw the title of this thread I thought it was GF related and our Don posted in the wrong area (although 3 families didn't make sense) Actually you all look Italian - "The Three Piasani" ! No wonder you all made it out alive, Turnbull forgot to hide the gun!!! Geoff, I can't believe you're not wearing a Yankees cap!!!  TIS
